OUR LODGE

Keep It Social in the Cradle of Humankind

Mount Savannah sits inside the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site, less than 45 minutes from central Johannesburg and Pretoria. It is close enough to reach without a long drive and far enough that the city drops away completely, with wide views running out across the Highveld and a sense of space that carries through the whole stay.

The reserve covers 2,000 hectares and it is unfenced, so wildlife moves through the landscape as it pleases. Giraffe, kudu, zebra, red hartebeest, impala and gemsbok are often seen around the lodge itself, along with a good variety of birdlife, and most of the time you do not have to go looking for them.

Accommodation is built around spacious deluxe suites with king-size beds and furnished private decks, while the shared spaces do the social work. Guests can stretch out on the main deck with a cold drink, take a dip in the plunge pool, or settle into the lounge beside the stone fireplace while the children play outside.

Breakfast is served in the main dining room, and the evening belongs to the boma. The lodge provides a starch and a salad and helps with the braai, so all you need to bring is the meat, your drinks and good company. As the sun drops the fire becomes the centre of everything, with the sounds of the valley carrying up towards the lodge.

Game Drives, Trails and Long Evenings at the Fire

There is enough to fill a weekend without leaving the reserve. Guided drives take you out into the 2,000 hectares, the mountain biking trails run through the same country, and a therapist can come to your suite when the day is done. Beyond the gate, the Cradle of Humankind is one of the most significant heritage sites in the world.
